If the full body rubber suits do end up getting banned, why should USMS follow their lead on this issue? (i.e. assuming the suits would continue to be manufactured).
Isn't Masters mostly for each individual to pursue what they want and the level they want out of the sport?
If the full body suit is preferred by many USMS participants, why not satisfy the base by keeping it available?
What's really the point of forcing old USMS swimmers out of their girdles if FINA bans them?

I vote against the suits, even though I wore a Tyr Tracer Rise at Nationals and placed in three events. Of course all my competitors were also wearing tech suits, so it was necessary.
And the suit is already falling apart after one meet. That's an expensive meet for me: hotel room for four days and a suit that cost twice as much as the hotel.
I'll bring up the dreaded words: Corporate Sponsorship.
Now that Blue Seventy has become a major sponsor of USMS, is that going to affect decisions about what suits are legal?
